La geografia sociale dove non c’è (cioè, intendiamoci: dove non si sognerebbe di essere). Ovvero: oggi un vero conservatore è di destra o di sinistra? Note sulla Gran Torino di Clint Eastwood

Green Persuasion: Advertising, Voluntarism, and America’s Public Lands

Green Persuasion traces the history and evolution of volunteer-based public lands stewardship in the United States as well as the Advertising Council’s work promoting environmental causes, such as the Smokey Bear fire prevention and the Keep America Beautiful campaigns. The Take Pride in America program, developed during the Reagan administration, was revised, neglected, and readopted by subsequent presidencies. Working with the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Ad Council enlivened the Take Pride initiative with public service announcements featuring celebrity spokespersons Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, and Louis Gossett Jr. Green Persuasion offers valuable insights into how and why Americans have expressed care of the nation’s landed inheritance in their collective political choices.

Intrigas políticas, tramas escópicas: Eastwood, De Palma e as artimanhas do poder

Poder absoluto (Abolute Power, 1997), de Clint Eastwood, e Olhos de serpente (Snake Eyes, 1998), de Brian De Palma, possuem elementos em comum e pertencem ao mesmo período histórico, mas desenvolvem perspectivas distintas sobre o tema da conspiração política, de acordo com as visões de mundo e as preferências estilísticas de seus realizadores. O artigo analisa ambos os filmes a partir das estratégias adotadas por eles para compor dispositivos de reflexão sobre o olhar, o ponto de vista e a dimensão política dos atos de observar e vigiar.

Is that Clint Eastwood or an old person? Assessing the speed of extracting group versus person information from faces

The human face is a key source of social information. In particular, it communicates a target’s personal identity and some of their main group memberships. Different models of social perception posit distinct stages at which this group-level and person-level information is extracted from the face, with divergent downstream consequences for cognition and behavior. This paper presents four experiments that explore the time-course of extracting group and person information from faces. In Experiments 1 and 2, we explore the effect of chunked versus unchunked processing on the speed of extracting group versus person information, as well as the impact of familiarity in Experiment 2. In Experiment 3, we examine the effect of the availability of a diagnostic cue on these same judgments. In Experiment 4, we explore the effect of both group-level and person-level prototypicality of face exemplars. Across all four experiments, we find no evidence for the perceptual primacy of either group or person information. Instead, we find that chunked processing, featural processing based on a single diagnostic cue, familiarity, and the prototypicality of face exemplars all result in a processing speed advantage for both group-level and person-level judgments equivalently. These results have important implications for influential models of face processing and impression formation, and can inform — and be integrated with — an understanding of the process of social categorization more broadly.

From “Hero” to “Evil”

The security guard, who was the pioneer to prevent the suspicious package left in the entertainment area, was primarily declared as ‘hero' after the incident in Atlanta during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and then he was vilified as ‘evil' as a result of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and media representations about the incident. The incident was adapted into the movie Richard Jewell in 2019, directed by Clint Eastwood. The movie, in which Jewell's devastating life is narrated in the screenplay, is regarded as to be worth analyzing because the media reflects the witch hunt that Stanley Cohen defines as a moral panic. Consequently, the moral panic creation of the media is tried to be analyzed through the movie Richard Jewell in this study.
